What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
What inspired me to write this book is God's relentless pursuit of His wayward children. This book is a fictional book, but it's main character is loosely based off my life where I constantly fought against God, my parents and all the things I was taught growing up. God never gave up on me and threw a few left hooks of His own, which I needed in order to wake up to His amazing Grace. It is my hope and prayer that many will be blessed by this story and draw closer to God.

Fans of Narnia and Middle Earth will love the Epic of Haven!
Book One, THE GREAT DARKENING, is on sale for just 0.99 from July 20th – 26th.

Haven, the once-shining city, is slowly and painfully losing the only source of light left in the world: a tree which has perpetually burned for hundreds of years. As Haven grows darker with each fallen branch of the tree, many turn to hopelessness and fear, and some to the mysterious power of the unlight that lurks in the shadows. Only a brave few will set upon a quest to seek out a new light and fulfill the ancient prophecy before the ravenous darkness consumes what is left of the dying kingdom of Haven.

Told from multiple perspectives, this is a powerful story of three women – of the threads of mercy that connect them – and of heart-wrenching sorrows alchemized by the Heavenly Father’s overwhelming redeeming grace.
